Clean technology, also called cleantech or climate tech, refers to products, services, and processes that reduce negative environmental impacts through improved energy efficiency, sustainable resource use, or environmental protection. It includes a broad range of technologies related to recycling, renewable energy, information technology, green transportation, electric motors, green chemistry, lighting, grey water, and more.

Clean technology developed in response to concerns about climate change, pollution, and the environmental impacts of industrialization, particularly those associated with fossil fuel use, and has played a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The sector includes industries such as solar and wind energy, biofuels, energy storage, and circular economy technologies.
